Neon Installs!
I don't want anyone claiming rice or whatever, flaming etc..
I have done a couple of installs lately, including my own car of Footwell Neons and Boot Neons, a mate of mine was quoted about $50 dollars PER neon to install (via JB-HI FI) and a certain hourly rate.. I will charge anyone who wants footwell neons to a switch or boot neons installed for $10 per neon with no hourly rate - you supply all equipment such as neons, wiring, connectors etc etc, I will supply tools like a drill.
Talk to me in PM or email me at hsv_guy01 at hotmail dot com, or tr3nt at iprimus dot com dot au!
South East/Southern suburbs only. If the locations are in like southern places such as scoresby or up that area I will charge $10 on top for petrol coverage.

depends on what you mean by "whole car" but if its easy enough.. I will do it. I am actually thinking of upping the pay by $15 a neon.. but if people are unhappy with that, I can do $10.. be more happy with $15 though
if you think about it:
2x front neons
2x rear neons
1x boot neon
call out charge (if a fair distance away)
$70.. still by far cheaper than a retail install, and I have been quoted that I do a professional looking job.

Well, I read the packaging the neons came in (knowing that the actual glowing substance could possibly be dangerous) and it said nothing about dangerous goods etc etc.. the ONLY advice they gave me was to "avoid using the neon for periods in excess of 3 hours".
The packaging also comes with install instructions, so im sure there's no license required. If there is, I should still be alright as im not doing this as a registered business, only a hobby!

Any idea how much parts would cost (ie the neons), to do the interior of a car.. No boot..

yeah your right, I'm just ****ting you. But, as a warning.. if you ever snap a neon and actually shatter the glass...throw it all away from you away from you and everyone else as fast as you can....think of it as a small hand grenade. It won't explode but the gases are definetly dangerous...very bad for your lungs....will burn for days.
Remember...if running 3 or more from the one power source to relay it from a heabier duty power source...
If you want any tips o tricks...just PM me and I can send you some fancy relay designs.
